Very nice addition to complete The Malta Knight displayed in My hall of Knights. Shipping & customer Service are Great.. I recommend this seller to anyone looking for accessories in completing your Knights or other needs, The Shoes Fit perfectly.. I have found much more expensive items that are of less quality than this one, which is why I recommend this one as the best over others that I have found..

I got one of the pairs with the stinky soles. It was six *months* before the smell went down enough that I could tolerate wearing them, and not a lot of occasional wear before the soles cracked clean through. I read in other reviews that some sellers are using rubber that doesn't smell awful, and there's a review that explains a method for getting those instead of the ones I got. But yeah, if you end up with a pair of the stinky ones, just toss them and try again.

Warm but of a strange texture. I don't think I ordered them intentionally but I was considering them anyway. I like that they aren't space age moon boots designed by Superman for LeBron James after being deemed the Heir to Michael Jordan due to a mishap trying to make an award out of his big toe. They also not masquerade as an American product, most of which of this type are imitating a Spanish product. Only real negative is that the heels might end up a bit slick since the fabric is not very stiff.

The return policy is terrible. I paid return shipping. They reimbursed that cost and subtracted the rest as restocking fee. That means I ended up giving them $12 and I have no shoes. I'm size 12 ordered "Men's 12 1/2 to 13 (46)" Too small, the toe is narrow like a girls shoe.

The Easy USA. Kung Fu shoes are the best I've ever owned. I've worn this type of Chinese slip-on shoes for many years and these are a perfect fit. I wear a size 10.5 in most shoes and I wear the 44 (10.5-11) in these. An 11 would need the next size up. These are soft, jet-black cotton, with a white-cotton lining and a lightly padded, white cotton insole. The sole is rubber. They're comfortable: like being barefoot, but secure from the concrete jungle. I like these casual shoes for artsy projects, too. Right now I'm working on skeleton shoes, as you can see from my photo. Oh, and I don't have the strongest sense of smell in the world, but these have always smelled fine to me.

But, I gather from the reviews that people are having some problems when ordering these shoes. Remember these tips:

1) if you are on the high side of the size, such as 11 in size 10.5-11 (44), order the next size up.

2) Choose your seller. Amazon automatically assigns your order to the next vendor in line. Look in the "new (#) from $?.00" section (2-3 lines down from "Add to Cart") and pick a seller with a high satisfaction rating. (I prefer SS Discount)

3) When your shoes arrive, be sure that you got what is pictured in the listing. The insole should be stamped EASY as in my photo. The sole should say Hau Yu and Made in China. Anything else is not what you ordered. Request a return for the item not being as described. You should get a full refund.

Still, your chances of getting duds isn't that high, anyway. The vast majority of Amazon sellers are reputable and helpful. Your main problem is getting the right size. Remember my advice and you should be fine.
